Before

Constructed directly above the hospital's underground parking structure, this helipad serves as a high-frequency emergency evacuation node for the province. It is managed by the Conselleria de Sanidad of the Generalitat Valenciana and integrated with the AVSRE (Agencia Valenciana de Seguridad y Respuesta a las Emergencias) to support the "SAMU Aire" medical helicopter framework. ### Key Requirements & Restrictions * **Restrictions:** Airspace is fully restricted from 0 meters AGL upward within a 2.5km safety radius to secure critical arrival and departure paths for urgent inter-hospital critical care and trauma transfers. * **Permission Steps:** Drone operators must establish and sign a formal Operational Coordination Agreement with the Servicio de Emergencias Sanitarias (SES) / Conselleria de Sanidad of the Generalitat Valenciana prior to initiating any flight. * **Requirements:** Any operational ground station deployment, launching, or landing within the public perimeter of the hospital complex requires an independent administrative land-use permit from the hospital's internal security and infrastructure management division. * **Important Notes:** The helipad handles heavy multi-engine medical aircraft, specifically the AgustaWestland 139 (AW139), which frequently executes low-altitude transit corridors connecting the hospital to its primary technical base at the nearby Aeródromo del Grao de Castellón. * **Physical Hazards:** The urban site is heavily constrained by the adjacent Ronda Norte highway network, nearby overhead high-voltage power lines, and dense residential high-rises. Operators face localized risks of compass anomalies and radio-frequency interference originating from the hospital's heavy diagnostic wings and metropolitan telecom arrays. ### Sources & Verification * ENAIRE Drones Map (Aeronautical Servitudes and Protected Facilities Registry). * Conselleria de Sanidad - Generalitat Valenciana (Registro de Helisuperficies Sanitarias). * Agencia Valenciana de Seguridad y Respuesta a las Emergencias (AVSRE / CICU operational protocols).
